Marriage Notes:
NOTE - It is interesting that in just a few months following the marriage ceremony on 4 Oct 1919, Mary indicated that she was 17 years old for the 1920 census conducted in January which would place her birth year as approximately 1902. Since the marriage ceremony occurred in 1919, that would have made her about 17 years old at the time of the marriage yet she indicated on the marriage license that she was 18.
